Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address — used to sign in and for account-related emails, like password resets.
• Username and display name — used to identify you to other members of your leagues.
• Password — stored only as a securely hashed value; we never store or have access to your actual password. If you sign in with Apple or Google instead, we receive a unique identifier and email from that provider, not a password.
• Profile picture (optional) — if provided via Apple or Google sign-in.

As you use the app, we also collect:

• Gameplay data — the leagues you create or join, the picks you make, and your results, visible to other members of leagues you're in.
• Push notification token — used only to send you pick reminders, if enabled. You can disable notifications in your device settings at any time.

We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs of any kind, and we do not collect data for advertising purposes.

How we use your information

We use your information solely to operate the app: authenticating you, running league gameplay, showing standings to league members, sending pick-reminder notifications, and emailing you about your account.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that operate the app on our behalf:

• Render — hosts our backend server and database.
• Resend — delivers transactional emails, like password reset links.
• Apple / Google — if you choose to sign in with Apple or Google.

Your display name, username, and gameplay results are visible to other members of any league you join — that's core to how the app works.

Data retention and account deletion

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account inside the app. This permanently removes your personal information (email, name, username, and password). Your past picks and league history remain visible to other league members for the integrity of standings, but are no longer linked to your identity once deleted.

Children's privacy

Survivor Football is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Security

Passwords are hashed using industry-standard methods (bcrypt) before storage. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
